Amy had always dreamed of visiting her grandmother’s old village in the English countryside. It was a small, hidden place called Amberwood, known for its misty hills, old stone cottages, and winding pathways that led to mysterious places. When her family finally planned a trip there for the summer, she was overjoyed. The journey to Amberwood was long, winding through green valleys and over gentle hills, until they reached the little village, where time seemed to stand still.

On the first evening, as the sun was setting, her grandmother took Amy to the edge of the village, where a small, enchanted forest stretched out in front of them. “The forest holds many secrets,” her grandmother whispered. “It’s said that anyone who explores it may stumble upon something extraordinary.” Amy felt a thrill as she stared at the shadowy woods, excited to begin her own adventure.

That night, as Amy lay in bed, she couldn’t sleep. The thought of the forest called to her, urging her to explore. She decided that tomorrow, she would enter the woods and see what secrets they held.

中文译文：

艾米一直梦想着去她祖母的乡村老村庄，那是一个叫做安布尔伍德的小地方，以雾气缭绕的山丘、古老的石屋和通往神秘地方的蜿蜒小径而闻名。当她的家人终于计划在夏天去那里时，她欣喜若狂。前往安布尔伍德的旅途漫长而蜿蜒，穿过绿色的山谷和平缓的山丘，直到他们到达了这个仿佛时间停滞的小村庄。

第一天傍晚，太阳渐渐落下，祖母带艾米来到村边，眼前是一片小而神秘的森林。“这片森林藏着许多秘密，”祖母低声说道，“据说任何进去探险的人都可能发现不平凡的东西。”艾米凝视着阴影重重的树林，兴奋地想开始自己的冒险。

那晚，艾米躺在床上，难以入睡。森林的想法萦绕心头，似乎在召唤她去探索。她决定，明天她一定要进去看看，这片森林到底隐藏着什么秘密。
